Meet the Jonas Sales Team
At Jonas Software, we pride ourselves on being the leading provider of integrated software solutions for contractors in North America. While we do believe that we have the best solution in the market, we feel that the people and services that back our product is what gives us an advantage over our competition. We put client service first! For this reason we manage all aspects of our product and service delivery from our head office. From sales to training to ongoing support and account management you can be assured that you are working with fully trained Jonas personnel. The one downside to our methodology is that we seldom get face to face time with prospective clients until the training begins. With this in mind we have put together this group of brief bios and photos so that you can associate a face to the names of the various people at Jonas that you may speak with during the sales process.
